Olivia Carter Bachelor of Social Work, MSU Denver, Fall 2024 and Spring 2025 Semesters. As a Bachelor of Social Work student at MSU Denver, interning with UNA-Boulder County has been an incredibly meaningful experience that aligned closely with my passion for global justice and community-based advocacy. During my time with the organization, I helped plan community events, contributed to the chapter’s strategic planning efforts, and worked on outreach initiatives to strengthen local engagement. Being part of UNA-BC gave me the opportunity to apply what I’ve learned in the classroom to real-world advocacy and deepen my understanding of macro social work in action. This internship has strengthened my commitment to pursuing a career in international development and public policy as I look towards graduate school, and it showed me the power of community education as a tool for change. |
Melody Kreml Bachelor of Social Work, MSU Denver, Fall 2024 and Spring 2025 Semesters. During my senior year, I interned with the United Nations Association of Boulder County (UNA-BC), an organization whose commitment to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) deeply resonated with me. I chose this internship to explore mezzo/macro social work, a new area for me, and I was grateful for the autonomy, mentorship, and supportive leadership that allowed me to shape my own learning experience. One of my biggest projects was organizing UNA-BC’s annual UN Day event, where I handled everything from venue coordination and speaker outreach to logistics and community engagement. This experience gave me invaluable skills in event planning, advocacy, and grassroots organizing. A particularly memorable moment was attending the Boulder Peace Faire, which showed me firsthand how local activism ties into global change. Through this internship, I grew my passion for social justice and international collaboration. |
Max Karpinski Bachelor' of Social Work, MSU Denver, Fall 2024 and Spring 2025 Completing my social work internship with the United Nations Association Boulder Chapter has helped me develop a wide range of skills under thoughtful, skilled, and caring supervision. I was surrounded by a wealth of experience and had the opportunity to participate in events, team-building activities, marketing, and social media efforts. I also attended board meetings and engaged with members, which deepened my understanding of the organization’s concerns and future initiatives aimed at serving the community. This is an experience I highly recommend for anyone interested in working within macro ethical practices, as it offers the autonomy to align your work with your personal values. |
